The Occasionally Accurate Annals of Football: The NFL’s Greatest Players, Plays, Scandals, and Screw-Ups (Plus Stuff We Totally Made Up)

Did you know . . .

Tom Brady is an excellent quarterback. (True, but only according to statistics and accomplishments.)

The formation of the NFL took place in an auto dealership. The founders started an institution and also were convinced to shop for rust-proofing for it. (Half true.)

The Carolina Panthers originated as a book club but turned to football when they couldn’t agree on which John Grisham novel to read. (Maybe true. Research isn’t our thing.)

This parade of inanity is co-written by Joel H. Cohen (3 Emmys, several cavities as a result of poor flossing) and includes contributions from certifiably hilarious people, such as:

• Andy Richter (Late Night with Conan O’Brien)
• Brian Kelley (The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live)
• Chuck Tatham (Modern Circle of relatives, Arrested Development, How I Met Your Mother)
• Mike Price (The Simpsons, F is for Family)
• Donick Cary (Silicon Valley, New Girl)
• Christine Nangle (Inside Amy Schumer, Saturday Night Live)
• Broti Gupta (The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Simpsons)
• Rob Cohen (Saturday Night Live, Big Bang Theory)

Illustrated in two colors (black and white are colors, right?) The Every so often Accurate Annals of Football informs (a little), entertains (a lot), and is the very best gift to taunt the Jets fans in your life.
